Ingredients
• 6 Large Eggs (hard-boiled and peeled)
• 1 Avocado (large, approx. 4.8 oz)
• 1 Tablespoon Mayonnaise
• 1/2 Teaspoon Mustard
• 1 Tablespoon Lemon Juice
• 1/2 Teaspoon Salt
• 1/2 Teaspoon Black Pepper
Instructions
1. Prepare the Eggs: Place the eggs in a pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then cover and remove from heat. Let them sit for 10 minutes. Once finished, transfer to an ice bath, peel, and dice.
2. Mix the Base: In a medium bowl, combine the diced eggs, mayonnaise, mustard, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
3. Fold in the Freshness: Gently stir.
4. Prep the Avocado: Slice the avocado in half lengthwise and remove the pit. If you'd like more room for the filling, scoop out a small spoonful of the avocado flesh and mix it directly into the egg salad.
5. Stuff and Serve: Spoon the egg salad mixture generously into the center of each avocado half. Garnish pinch of pepper, and enjoy immediately!
Chef’s Tips & Variations
• Add some Crunch: Stir in some diced celery or crumbled bacon for added texture.
• Make it Spicy: A dash of paprika or a drizzle of sriracha on top adds a nice kick.
• Vegan Variation: Swap the eggs for firm tofu (crumbled) and use vegan mayonnaise or extra mashed avocado as your creamy binder.
